Paperback
Publication Date: 12/06/2002
The follow-up to 'The Amphibians Are Coming!', this second volume covers all the Solomons Campaigns and tells the story of America's first offensive after Pearl Harbor. Part I, 'The Southern Solomons Campaigns', is excerpted from Volumes IV and V of distinguished naval historian Samuel Loring Morison's History of United States Naval Operations in World War II', and covers the bloody six-month struggle for Guadalcanal. Part II, 'The Central Solomons Campaigns', chronicles the amphibious operations in the New Georgia Islands group, including the five separate landings at Rendova, Segi Point, Viru Harbor, Wickham Anchorage, and Rice Anchorage. Part III, 'The Northern Solomons Campaigns', recounts the seizure of the Treasury Islands, the Choiseul Diversion, the Bougainville campaign, and sums up the many valuable lessons learned during the Solomons Campaigns -- most becoming doctrine in later Pacific campaigns.
